The Geoweb and Deep Place

"Together with a busload of other geoweb neophytes, I found myself carrying a GPS-equipped tablet PC around a decommissioned army base overlooking the Golden Gate. I clicked on one of the hotspots on the photomap of our location. A note popped up -- from the late, great Jerry Garcia, who had been quoted in print about the place we were exploring because Fort Scott in San Francisco's Presidio is where Garcia served in the army in his pre-Dead and predead days," reports Howard Rheingold in The Geoweb and Deep Place.

"The Geoweb, as Liebhold and others envision it today, combines geonote-like user annotations of places, GIS databases that augment map locations and some kind of standard protocols that would enable amateurs as well as professionals to connect physical spaces with cyberspace extensions."
